Each Department Chair determines the timing of the annual performance review cycle for their unit. Department administrators notify their faculty when the performance review cycle opens and communicate deadlines for completion of the process.
When it is time to complete your performance review:
- Log in to the Feinberg Faculty Portal (Chrome is the preferred browser)
- Follow this Quick Reference for Completing Your Self-Evaluation to submit your performance review

- Quick Reference on Data Entry
- Self-Evaluation Questions: This documents lists the narrative self-evaluation questions. Since the questions are not visible to faculty year-round, refer to this document to anticipate the questions that will be asked when the performance review cycle opens. It may also be used as a worksheet to prepare responses.
- Access Prior Performance Reviews: Use this guide to access prior performance reviews stored in the Faculty Portal, but note that there are no reviews stored in the system prior to 2019 (and most departments didn't start using it until 2020).
After faculty complete their self-evaluations, the Department Chair (or designee, such as Division Chief) meets with each faculty member to discuss performance, which includes the following:
- Review of the faculty member’s accomplishments, ongoing activities, and goals
- Feedback on academic performance, career progress, and eligibility for promotion and/or reappointment
Following the performance review meeting, the Chair/Chief documents a summary of performance feedback in the Feinberg Faculty Portal. The feedback will be visible to the faculty member (and any staff member who can emulate the faculty member). The date when the performance review meeting occurred is also recorded in the Feinberg Faculty Portal.
